The Microstructure in an Al–Ti Alloy Melt: The Wulff Cluster Model from a Partial Structure Factor

In the present work, the Wulff cluster model—which has been proven to successfully describe pure metals, homogeneous alloys, and eutectic alloys—has been extended to complex binary Al<sub>80</sub>Ti<sub>20</sub> alloys, containing intermetallic compounds. In our model, the mo...

The Microstructure in an Al–Ti Alloy Melt: The Wulff Cluster Model from a Partial Structure Factor
description In the present work, the Wulff cluster model—which has been proven to successfully describe pure metals, homogeneous alloys, and eutectic alloys—has been extended to complex binary Al<sub>80</sub>Ti<sub>20</sub> alloys, containing intermetallic compounds. In our model, the most probable structure in metallic melts should have the shape determined by Wulff construction within the crystal structure inside, and the cluster’s size could be measured by pair distribution function. For Al<sub>80</sub>Ti<sub>20</sub> binary alloy, three different types of clusters (Al cluster, Al<sub>3</sub>Ti cluster, and Ti cluster) were proposed. Their contributions in XRD results are investigated by a comparison with the partial XRD pattern.
